When a
person’s physical body dies, their spirit separates and begins a journey to the
spirit realms. People who have been resuscitated in hospital after physical
death in the operating theatre describe a time of transition when the pass
along a tunnel, over a bridge or through a door. This takes them to the
entrance to the spirit realms where they are met by friends and family who
welcome them and help them to start the process of healing and training for
further work, such as becoming a spirit guide. Sometimes, this procedure to
enter the spirit realms does not complete itself properly and the spirit is
described as wandering or ‘earth-bound’. There are a number of reasons for this
failure. In the spirit realms, our personality exists along with our weaknesses
and passions and our value system. It could be that a cautious person has had
an accident and is confused by the new situation of not having a physical body.
A person might not want to enter the spirit realms because they have unfinished
business here on the earth plane, such as a need to rectify a problem or fear
of retribution in the spirit realms for an evil act. Sometimes, a wronged or angry
will want to hurt someone, knowing that if they fully enter the spirit realms,
they will not have the opportunity to do this. Earth-bound spirits need to
carry out their desires and needs in some way so they search for a person whose
spirit is weak enough to push over and allow them in to co-habit and therefore
find refuge, comfort and power. Others seek a place, an object or an animal to
inhabit.
